    Tunisia: amended entry regulations
    07/01/2025 09:30

    Tunisia has changed the entry regulations for citizens of the Federal Republic of Germany.

    The previous option of entering the country with an identity card has been replaced by a passport requirement.

    A passport is therefore mandatory for entry.

    If you have any questions, the DVKG consular advisors will be happy to help.
